Bears and Dogs

The recent killing of a dog in Prince George is indeed a sad case. We love our dogs and I am very sorry for this man’s loss. It is important to recognize that this man did carry bear spray but though deployed, it was ineffective in protecting his dog.

Along with its proper use and an understanding of bear behaviour, encounters such as these can be a defused quickly without escalation or avoided all together.

There’s a big development in a story that we at CFAX have been following for about 5 years now, it was 2015 where a now former BC Conservation Officer was terminated for refusing to put down two bears cubs near Port Hardy.  I’m sure many long-time listeners will recognize that story, there is an update to that today. So, I have Bryce Casavant on the line with me right now, Bryce thanks for being here.
